The Me-163 was a rocket-powered interceptor Ã¢â‚¬â€œ the only such aircraft to fly during World War II. Rocket power gave this fighter immense speed although ultimately itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s success record proved unimpressive. With a range of only 25 miles, its overall use was further limited to point defense of high value targets. In combat it carried two 30mm cannons.

Historical Board GamingÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s line of 3D printed sets are designated in rules as Ã¢â‚¬Å›TDPÃ¢â‚¬Å¥ followed by a letter (TDPA, TDPB etcÃ¢â‚¬Â¦) so your rules can be referenced in future expansions.Players of Global War 1939 and Axis & Allies 1940 will find these rules compatible with those games. Some slight modifications needed for these game systems are detailed in the appendix.

Me-163 Komet Set

These little jets are a one pass unit and were actually assigned by the Luftwaffe to a Liephiem AB in Southern Bavaria in Germany. On the wall in the visitor center is painting of them. I have several older 1-700 scale ones from years ago and they are the same size as the HBG jets. I super glued mine to German roundels because they are so small and really easy to lose.
I highly recommend this unit for attacking B-24s and B-17s.

LIKE THE THOR BY HBG, THIS ALSO IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES .. ADDS SO MUCH REALISM TO MY WARGAMES .. SIZE AND DETAIL ONCE MORE MAKES THIS ITEM STAND OUT WHEN ALL HECK IS BREAKING ON THE EASTERN FRONT WITH RUSSIA ..
.. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
